June 3, 1966: Mediterranean-like sunshine over the Whitsun holiday attracted visitors to Tenby in their thousands. A police report revealed that the volume of traffic throughout the county was the heaviest yet experienced.

Tenby’s strong sea traditions were emphasised in Whit Sunday’s civic procession to St. Mary’s Church. All the town’s youth organisations accompanied the new Mayor, Alderman Ivor Crockford, to church. Among them were the Sea Cadet Unit, led by Lieut Commander F. B. Roberts and the Sea Scouts, led by District Commissioner Bernard Allen.

In a new streamlining plan, British Rail were to concentrate all their goods delivering services in Pembrokeshire from one main depot at Haverfordwest. Delivery vehicles would no longer operate from Tenby and Pembroke Dock which for some years had served an area of South Pembrokeshire bounded by Amroth, Templeton, Lawrenny and Angle to the coast.

After an afternoon of keen competition in unfavourable conditions, Robert Recorde retained the house championship in Greenhill School’s athletic sports by two-and-a-half points from St. Davids. Individual winners included Junior Victor Ludorum - Richard Ormond, Senior Victor Ludorum - Ian Alexander, Junior Victrix Ludorum - Heather Parsell and Sarah Joseph, Senior Victrix Ludorum - M. Fowler and W. Llewellyn.
